Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.

Researchers exposed outdoor moth traps to two kinds of artificial night lighting: a bluish-white light similar to modern LED streetlamps and a warm amber light similar to older sodium lamps. Under the warm amber light, a native flowering shrub that depends on night-flying moths for pollination produced markedly fewer seed pods than under natural darkness, even though the amber light was dimmer than the blue-white light in a side-by-side comparison. Moth visits to the shrub's flowers were also significantly reduced under the amber treatment, coinciding with the drop in seed-pod formation.

Which one of the following statements best reflects the most critical inference that can be made from the passage given above?
